"very clean with good facilities.."

We loved our stay here. It was a good spot from which to explore New Plymouth and being so close to the coastal walkway was a bonus. Our cabin had a train line behind it but the trains are quite infrequent so this did not bother us. Everything here worked like clockwork and the facilities for children are impressive.

Apart from the weather our stay was fabulous. The facilities were fabulous, (new block for kitchen TV, Laundry Toilets and showers) there was no timer on the shower and there was plenty of hot water. Great Laundry facilities, however I did not see any instructions and I struggled to get the machines to work (old age) In conclusion, I whole heartedly recommend Belt Road. The views are fabulous.

The Studio Motel unit was suitably equipped lovely and clean and tidy...viewing the website photos before we booked we were on the understanding that we would have unobstructed views of the ocean and surrounds...Bit disappointed there were buses and caravans park across the front of unit which didn't show in the brochure.

Motel cabin was clean and tidy with a wonderful view of the port. A lovely new bathroom with excellent shower. Small but cozy and was equipped satisfactorily. Fresh towels etc each day. You have to take extras like soap, hair dryer and bedding, though you can hire bedding for extra cost. Bed just OK. The view and the sound of the pounding sea is great. Enjoyed our stay.

Thanks for taking the time to post your review Lynette. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure we cover your concerns. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again.

"Modern, well sited, safe holiday park"

We had a wonderful stay at Belt Road Seaside Holiday Park. We stayed on a big powered site in our caravan for 10 days - we extended our stay. The owners/manager and staff were very approachable and helpful. The facilities were great - kitchen, laundry and toilets very clean, modern and regularly maintained. The holiday park was safe and there was no problem with security with lights in many areas. It was very close to the Coastal Walkway and we took our bikes so spent many hours biking all New Plymouth park areas - fantastic! We were lucky enough to have lovely weather. We were there at the same time as 3 fishing tournaments were held as the park was close to the Fishing Club and this caused no problems and we found it interesting.

Thanks for your feedback we are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to seeing you again!

"Belt road holiday park short stay"

We enjoyed our stay and found the staff to be very helpful. The train ran right by our tent site on the Friday only -so weekend was OK, but found the helicopters flying out at night a bit noisy. Once we got used to it was fine. Good central spot, easy to find everything, facilities nicer in the more modern blocks. Would go there again.

"Very enjoyable stay"

I was looking for a campsite that was small. When I arrived it was exactly as the blurb had said. It was well maintained, with the tent sites nicely set within surrounding hedges and trees. I only used the toilet facilities but the showers were great, plenty of hot water. The site was pretty quiet, even though it was near the port, but the benefit of being so close was that it’s only a short walk to the sea and a fantastic café/restaurant called the Bach. It serves all tastes, including vegetarian and vegan. The site is also a very short drive to the city centre. Overall an excellent stay.

"Family Bungalow"

The family bungalow was very spacious for 4 adults 3 children, and the view was amazing. There we other campers in front of our cabin but that didn't really block the view. We walked to the aquatic centre for a swim and to the boating club for dinner. The seaside walkway is great for an evening stroll. We will definitely go back to stay. Our rating is 4 star

Thanks for your feedback Patricia. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to seeing you again.

"Not good value for the money"

Just spend 6 days on a powered campsite. It was well away from facilities. Water was not nearby either with poor drainage. Toilets were poorly equiped with one basin jammed into a corner. Hand towel ran out. Showers were controlled rather intermitantly on timed buttons & changing area was shared between two showers. Shaver point did not work. Overall a rather disappointing stay for the money. Big hazard over looking port with unfenced area over steep bank.

Thanks for taking the time to post your review. We are currently in the process of building a new ablution block, which will cover the sites beyond C Block. We hope this will improve our current facilities and cover your concerns.

We loved staying at Belt Rd Holiday Park, the unit was very clean and tidy, and there was lovely sea views. The staff were very friendly and most helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone. We will see you again sometime

Was impressed with the view obviously however the staff and their friendly attitude made our stay very enjoyable, the cabin were in and the amenities were clean and tidy, we would not hesitate to stay again

I would thoroughly recommend this spot. We booked a powered site for our campervan and had a great experience. Their staff were friendly and helpful. The location was super convenient to town, and the campsite itself was immaculate. They obviously take a lot of pride, and so they should. The views overlooking the harbour and port are quite breathtaking. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Belt Road Holiday Park to anyone.

Excellent holiday park. We stayed one night in our caravan. Didn't have the need to use the facilities so unable to provide a review of these. Beautiful outlook over the sea. Friendly staff. Well worth a stay here.

We had a lovely family holiday in one of the family cabins. The location is perfect for walks along the water front, and close to everything you might want to do while visiting New Plymouth. Great hosts and facilities. We would recommend to all.

Beautiful views of Tasman, easy walk to cafe along seafront boulders or paved walking/ cycling track. We had a cute little cabin with kitchen things and dishes, cutlery queen in the main room and separate bunk room and toilet. Better than a motel and cheaper at 124 for 2 adults, 2 children.

"Recommended"

I recently stayed in the Motel Studio and found my accommodation to be very good. Fabulous view of ocean (provided camp sites in front not dominated by Camper Vans), clean and comfortable. Personally would have preferred the option not to have my towels taken each day (environmentally speaking) and think it should be clear what "servicing" includes eg not bed making, but replacement of towels, removal of rubbish, and topping up tea/coffee.

Thank you for your feedback, Janice. It's great to hear that you found the Motel Stdio to be very good. Thank you for the sugggestion regarding the option of having towels replaced and what servicing includes. We hope to see you again soon.

"Belt Road Holiday Park fully satisfactory"

The physical location of the site of great, with its views of the Tasman Sea and ready access to the oceanfront walking path that New Plymouth has. The price for the basic accomodation is fair as all the facilities were fully satisfactory. The only things that I would have changed would have been to make the charges for the internet station more modest, plus perhaps have the camp office open after 7 p.m. (or have a number where people could all for service). I stayed two nights and would have come back for a third, after completing the Pouakai Circuit (25 km, 15.5 miles) as a one day, 11 hour hike. But by the time I finished that hike, at 7:30 p.m., the Holiday Park was closed, so I had to find somewhere else to stay tha night.

Hi there Allan, thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. There is an after hours doorbell that guests are welcome to ring for checking in, and a notice on the office door with instructions. Apologies that this was missed. Thanks again for your feedback.

"Van with a view"

We hadn't been around Taranaki before, nor New Plymouth. We booked Belt Road based on location on route, closeness to city and others' reviews, and we're so glad that we did. Belt Road has good facilities, lots of greenery and best of all, the sea at your van's back door, so the views are brilliant. We enjoyed walking the coastal path, climbing Paritutu and being fed fresh fish at the waterfront. Finally, the camp staff are friendly, offer good advice and can deal with any questions you have. Go and try it: we'll be back if we're lucky enough to visit NZ again.

Awesome feedback, Martin thank you! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us so much. We hope to see you again on your next visit!

"Good Value, Great Location"

Have stayed at Belt Rd a number of times. Keep going back because it is good value, has a good range of accommodation depending on weather I have kids with me and need to be self sufficient in a cabin or not, and because of the location. I even managed to surf right in front while my family sat on the deck of our cabin and watched... priceless (it does't get waves this far south too often though). It's not exactly a romantic get away, but its functionally and good for a young family. I've already booked in our next holiday...

Hi Peter, Thanks for your review recommending us as a place to stay. We are glad you were able to surf on the break in front of the Holiday Park. Just to clarify, Taranaki is reknowned for its great surf spots which stretch from the Waiwakaio River on the Northern end of New Plymouth all the way round to South Taranaki following Surf Highway 45. The break at Belt Road is popular when the swell is up. Back Beach on the South Western edge of New Plymouth is also a very popular surf break. We look forward to seeing your family again at Chritmas. Don't forget to bring your surf board!

This site is in a primo location, with views out across the sea and the busy port. Short walk (1.5km) to town centre along coastal walkway, passing great swimming complex at 0.5km. Site has good facilities, everything you need. Sites are a good size, flat and private with hedges between. This was our 2nd stop here and a must on our camping calendar each year for the Cycle Challenge around the mountain.

"Great place to stay in New Plymouth"

The unit was clean, tidy, and well equipped, and close to the amenities.

The people who run this holiday park are friendly and efficient and the booking was easy to make. I appreciated the confirmation information and the text a few days before the stay reminding of the booking which had been made 6 months earlier.

The park is in an amazing location - so close the the coastal walkway, boat launching area and breakwater and has amazing views - we enjoyed watching the port activities.

It was a pleasant walk into town and there were shops nearby for supplies. My grandchildren enjoyed the playground facilities and the trampoline.

It is the 3rd time I have stayed here and would recommend it to others.

Thanks Mrs Carr, it's always great to hear such marvellous reviews! It sounds like you really made the most of our terrific city. We are so glad to hear that you were pleased by our service and will be spreading the word. We look forward to see you back soon!

"Great value, great location"

Our family with 2 teenage children had 1 night here in January 2013 during a road trip around the North Island. The Holiday Park was recommended to us by family who had stayed here previously. We are very pleased we chose this Holiday Park.

This was the best value for money accommodation we had on our whole 2 week trip. We stayed in a park motel which was one room with beds, dining table and kitchen and a separate bathroom. We had a deck with chairs which was right on the waterfront (apart from one row of tents in front of us, which we could see over).

Apart from not having separate bedrooms, the facilities were equal to any motel we stayed in, except there was not SKY TV.

The location of the Holiday Park was great. A short walk along the waterfront walkway to the local swimming pool, also away from any traffic or busy roads, but close to the city centre.

I would definitely stay here again, the staff were very friendly as well.

Fabulous feedback, Jenny, thank you! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us so much, thanks for speading the word. See you again on your next visit!

"A quiet, relaxing stay : Surf to city in 3 mins"

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here; amenities were spotless and very handy to our site. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Being so handy to the city centre and other New Plymouth attractions, we had no hesitation in booking again for 2013/14

We were very happy with our stay at Belt Road Seaside Park. We camped in a tent on a powered site on the water front. Our site was grassy with a perfect view. The Showers/toilets were basic (which is fine) and clean. We forgot our power lead and were able to hire one for $5 great value. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great spot and close to the coast walk and the town centre is a few minutes in the car.

Hi Nadine, thank you for your feedback, it's great to hear that our guests have such great experiences with us. The toliet and shower blocks have just been purchased from the council so we are now able to upgrade them! Thanks again Nadine and we hope to see you again next time!

"Excellent Holiday Park"

We stayed for 3 nights in our tent. They have excellent toilet,shower and kitchen facilities. The camp is clean and secure. A great outlook overlooking the port. The camp is on the Coastal Walkway so we walked the 3km into town each day. New Plymouth is wonderful, tidy and pretty. Just one piece of advice if you're camping out, many of the unpowered sites align the hedge next to the train track; but we were there over a public holiday period and only struck it once - 7am.

Thanks for your great feedback Diane! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. It sounds like you made the most of your stay in New Plymouth. The train line here services the port and there are only a handful a day during office hours with the occasional train as early as 7am. Thanks again for your feeback and see you again next time!

The cabin was comfortable and the view was wonderful. We only stayed for one night but could happily have stayed for longer. The coastal walkway was very pleasant and I wish we had planned more time in the area to allow us the chance to do more than just a small part of it. Belt Road is an ideal place to stay to explore more of Taranaki and if we are ever back in the area we would certain chose to stay there again.

"Powered Site"

The biggest thing i did not like where the outdated shower/kitchen blocks, they were very basic and would have benifited from being mordernised. When we were there it was very hot and the freezer in the kitchen was not working so everyones food had to be stuffed in a fridge which was just not big enough. Also we had to return home 2 days early and were not offered a refund even though the site would have been rerented to another camper. Its was a real shame because the park we had was overlooking the sea and very nice.

Hi Eamon, Thanks for taking the time to post your review. We agree the ablution blocks are very outdated, but they have been under council ownership until just recently, so we have plans to modernise them this year.
It was unfortunate the freezer stopped working on such a hot day, but it was replaced the same day.
We appreciate your feedback and have taken your comments on board.

"Not great value but fantastic views"

We stayed 3 nights in an en-suite cabin. It was fairly small, with no separate bedroom, no sink or cooker, and we had to pay extra for our 11 month old, something we have never had to do anywhere else. Also, basics such as coffee and tea, linen, washing machine, dryer and pegs all cost extra, so at $117 it wasn't really good value compared to most holiday parks we've stayed at. But the one great thing going for this place was its location: right on the coast just above the port area. Our cabin was just a few metres from the cliff edge and had >180 degree views of the port and coastline.

Hi James, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you did not think your stay was good value for money, we often get rave reviews for our ensuite cabins. They are advertised as having a kitchenette - microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge and pots and pans that can be taken to the shared kitchen facilities. Our self contained cabins have full kitchen facilities and our motel units also have linen, tea and coffee facilities included. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our location and will endeavour to book you into a self contained cabin in the future. Happy travels, from the team at Belt Road.

"Fabulous"

We loved our stay here. New Plymouth has been our favorite part of our journey around the north island. The holiday park was great and the staff was awesome. They were helpful and courteous. I enjoyed the views and the kids enjoyed the park. Perfect.

My mum ( who came with us) booked an Offsite powered site and did not realise that she was booking a camp site because we took our dog with us and they do not take dogs for this they could not book us a cabin but yes my mother made the error but they knew we had a dog and we accept that and initially we wanted a cabin or a room. When we arrived and checked in we found this all out and we were going to find other accommodation but the owner said she would give us the last cabin to sleep 4 for the Friday night only but the dog has to sleep in the car,I wouldn't accept that. She eventually let us have the cabin as long as there was no mess or dog hair etc just for the Friday night. We all appreciated this because we had no idea where else we were going to go she did state that the cabin was a “pencil booking” for the Saturday night and she would check with the guests to confirm and if not confirmed we could have it for the Saturday the owner took my mother’s cell phone number and said she would contact her once the guests called back in 5 minutes or if they did not call back in 5 minutes then we could have the room. When we got back that night no one had called us to say anything about the Saturday night and we tried the after hours bell twice but no one answered. The next morning at about 10am still no contact so we phoned and it went to messaging so we left a message. By 11am no one called back and we were unaware of the checkout time. The owner then proceeded to knock on the door very aggressively and told us in a rude manner that check out was 10:15 the guests will be there in 5 minutes and we are to leave immediately and to PUT our dog in the car NOW.

What doesn't sit right with me is that she was very pleasant to us the night before despite being unreliable but at the end of the day she did not want to lose the business so she was nice enough to get the business and then talk to us like we were rubbish on her shoe. We pointed out everything when we checked out and the receptionist kindly made the poorest excuses on this earth “ we didn't check our messages because we were busy” “oh but that lady is the owner” that makes no difference if you are a hospitality business and you are busy make a plan and if you are the owner that doesn't give you the right at all to speak to guests in that manner. I have a hospitality degree and worked in the industry i have never once spoken to a guest or customer in such a manner.

I have heard of people having a bad experience with rude people and it ruining their holiday I have never once experienced it until this last weekend. After that morning I just wanted to go home she is the blame for the souring of my weekend. We could have gone somewhere else but she probably didn't want to give the deposit back and that’s why she was “acting” so helpful and nice. I will never stay there again and in the hospitality industry “word of mouth” is a dangerous thing for business and I will make sure I tell everyone I know never to stay there I will put it on facebook, twitter, let “Jasons” know and the I-site and they should be re rated and definitely not be having a rating of 4 stars. The beds for me and the 3 other people in my group all experienced a restless sleep due to bad beds.

The cabin was clean and the view was nice those are the only positive things I have to say about it.

I'm disappointed because everyone one here seems to have had between an ok to a very enjoyable experience there too bad i didn't. quite sad really.

"Belt Road Motel Unit"

Our stay at the Belt Road Motel unit for three adults was up to our expectations.

We were there for three cold nights but the unit was warm and cosy with the wall heater and electric blankets for warming beds. Towels were changed after the first night of our stay but not after the second night. Condensation is a problem in the shower/toilet area which could be remedied with an extractor fan or something similar. Easy access to the excellent Terry's Takeaways was a bonus.

The room was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. The TV didn't have Sky or Freeview so there was limited programs able to be viewed. The breakfast provided was good. There was a good choice of cereals etc for the continental breakfast. I am not sure if a cooked breakfast was available if that's what you wanted.

The B&B was close to the walking tracks and the marina if going for a sea bound adventure was what you wanted to get up to. The hosts were very friendly and were very helpful to give you ideas on what you could do around the area.

Thanks for the great feedback! Thanks for choosing us and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

"Beautiful views, perfect except for the ants."

I have stayed there before and it has amazing views of the water and port but both times I’ve stayed at Belt Road there has been an ant problem; my partner and I are extremely careful with the way we store our food so the ants were already in the room, also it was not promptly dealt was, it took 4 hours for the staff to do anything about it and when they did, they did not lay ant-bait like i specifically asked they just wiped up the ants and left fly spray and a rag on our countertop, we were not impressed. This is a shame because other than, our stay was great.

Thank you for your feedback. Apologies that your stay was affected by ants and that you were unhappy with our response. Every effort will be made to correct this. We do hope you see you again in the future.

Good Fish n Chip shop, Indian takeaway and Dairy 5 minute walk around the corner.

Cabin was very comfortable and clean, and such awesome uninterrupted views out to sea.

We didn't actually use the shared facilities as we had everything we needed in the cabin.

Our unit was very small but it did the job required. My wife commented on the excellent shower she experienced. We were able to use the kitchen for a family meeting. Thank you. The automatic gate worked well. However, I was concerned that the level crossing with the railway did not have boom gates. The smoke detector in our room was beeping and this was seen to by the friendly staff after I went to the office.

Hi Graham,
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your experience staying with us at Belt Road! Unfortunately we have no control over the presence of boom gates at the level crossing but the bell system works well with the stop signs and your concern is noted, thank you. We hope to see you again in the future!

"Great"

Had a great stay, the cabin was clean and comfy as were amenities, great location and well maintained.

Was dissappointed with dinner recommendations,fish and chip shop closed, went to, I think the fishing club at 7.45pm, on door said meals available until 8.30pm we were stared at like we were lepers and told the kitchen was closed.I know it is not the camps fault but was recommended in the book and I thinks it reflects on camp. But we will be back.

Hi Vivien. Thank you for staying with us and for this valuable feedback. We have taken note of your comments and passed on your feedback to the businesses you mention. Next time you come we hope you will have better dining out experiences.

"Cabin no 5"

This is a unique cabin with a unique view in a unique spot of New Plymouth. It comes with real pukeko who visits on the front sea lawn at a civilised hour of 9.00 each morning. The cabin has everything you need for a cosy holiday and the showers are warm with good pressure. The bunk beds are a fun option alongside the double bed. The sea views are spectacular and look out over the south facing sugar loafs - islands and both up to the fitzroy coastline.

Thanks for your positive feedback, Karen. We hope you come and stay again some time soon.

Despite staying here during the school holidays the camp was peaceful with plenty of room. The view across the ocean & the port from our site was simply stunning, especially at night.

"FIVE STAR RESORT LOCATION"

Look for a family of five and the limited time we had to look and book we found jasons.com and Belt Road motor camp just FANTASTIC

and at the start of winter the location and facilities were FIVE STAR RESORT on a motor camp budget , with walks along the seafront just below the Motorcamp (great way to tire the kids out) and shopping at the all in one shopping plaza ,dining at Marbles banquet for a treat plus the many easy access cafe/takeway bars really made our stay in New Plymouth just that extra special

So WELL DONE Belt Road Motorcamp with your super clean and warm family units easy care and very friendly kids play ground, fantastic friendly staff and super super location.

This is the third time we have stayed at Belt Road. It is a great location being right near the waterfront and very accessable. I think it is very good value for money although a bit of a pain having to book for 3 nights over the long weekend. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

I really enjoyed staying here. The place was very clean, the bed was really comfy, handy location. The views were amazing, the only problem is that there is a camper van site just in front of the studio, so most times your views will be blocked by them, which is a real shame!

Thanks for your comments Andreia. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We do try to spread our campervans out as much as possible in front of the cabins so everyone gets a share of our breathtaking views. We hope you will come back to stay again some time.

We had a self contained bach with great views! The unit was basic but good for the price of $105 per night, especially with the views and being handy to soem lovely walks and not too far from the CBD. The unit was clean and tidy and we would definitely stay there again.

We have stayed at Belt Road Holiday Park many times in the past and have always enjoyed our stay. The position of the park offers unbeatable views with amenities to match. On our last visit we had family from Brisbane with us and they shared our opinion of the park. We will be back for many more stays in the future.

"Stay at Unit 1, Belt Road Holiday Park Great location - graffiti and how the unit was adviertised."

Reasonable price, awesome location.

I was disappointed with the disgusting graffiti under the top bunk(on the slats) - we booked as 2 adults and 2 kids, our eldest is 10. Just did not appreciate the graffiti at all.

Also the unit is clearly advertised as having a Queen Bed and a Double Bed with a single of top - this was not the case at all. The bed in the bedroom was a double and both bunks were singles. It turned out fine, but just wish it was advertised correctly.

Re: my two gripes as above, I told them when I went to ask for change of handtowel and dishcloth and tea towel, that in it self was not a problem at all, the girls forgot, not a big deal at all.

Hello Sandra. We appreciate the time you have taken to point out issues you had with your stay. These have now been addressed and apologise again for the oversights. We look forward to seeing you again.

"Suitable for our needs"

Was satisfactory for our needs, all we needed was a two beds and quietness. It's in a great location if you like the sea and amenities are good and clean. Only cons was the main light being above the bunks via a short string, we couldn't find any other light switch and the "street light" was attached to our cabin making the room quite bright. Area was 90% quiet, we could hear a few parties but nothing earplugs couldn't fix!

I am glad to hear you had enjoyed our quiet park Maria. We will take note of your comments on the brightness of the cabin and find a solution to fix this.

The site was ok flat with good views but nearest toilet block a tired and needed updating (relatives said block further away was nicer). overall good but seemed disorganised and to put us on separate sites (even though there was nobody on the sites in between!)

Thanks for your feedback and your comments are valid. We have plans for a new ablution block to be built this year to remedy the situation with the old ablution block.

"Nice location, facilities could need redocoration"

Nice location, most sites and cabins with seaview and view to New Plymouth harbour. Shower and toilet facilities need renovation! Facilities clean, but very old. We booked cheapest accommodation, so didn't expect a luxurious night, but unfortunately our cabin was very smelly. The owner upgraded us to a much nicer cabin without any hesitation. Thank you! Nice covered BBQ area.

The view was great but did get blocked by large campervans. Recommended if you want a romantic time as cabin is quite small, didnt stay our last night as had to share double bed with my child which was not comfortable no room for extra mattress. Everything clean and site handy to town. Would recommend paying the extra for a larger cabin if available.

We are glad to hear your stay. Unfortunate to hear about the whitetail spider - we do have fly spray available at the office for guests to use. Hopefully we will see you again!

We stayed for one night only as we were in transit to Wellington for Christmas. Reception staff friendly and helpful. The chalet was clean and equipped with everything we needed. It was lovely to sit on the decking looking at the ocean - not quite like the photo as there was the access track infront of us and there were caravans/campers on the grass strip beyond - but still between them we got the view. Well worth the stay.

"Still the best"

It is 10 years since we last stayed in a cabin at Belt Road Seaside Holiday Park and it is even better than we remembered. Great showers in the amenities block and really clean. We were disappointed that we booked too late to get the self contained cabin with the sea view that we stayed in many times when our children were young, but the cabin we had this time included a toilet and was bigger (great now the children are adults.) I would definitely recommend the location, so close to the beautiful walkway, overlooking the port and walking distance to town for the energetic. Location, location, clean, clean & friendly, friendly!! We are already planning our next visit.

Our campervan stay at Blet Road Seadside was great. The staff we're friendly, facilites were good (although locking the toilets/showers at night, and having to use your personal key was a bit of an inconvenience), and would definitely recommend to future campers!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay, and appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We realise sometimes it can be an inconvenience using a key for the facilities, but we do have problems with vandalism if they are left open. We hope to see you again in the future!

Great site, lovely views and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. 20 minute walk into town, along the Coastal path, is very enjoyable. If you walk in the opposite direction towards the port you will come across a small cafe/restaurant that serves great breakfasts. All in all, a great place to stay and fantastic views of the sea. 5 ticks definitely.

"Lovely comfortable, relaxing, with amazing outlook - 4 day holiday."

We were told that Belt Road holiday park was at our friends back door.

I then asked a friend who has relatives in New Plymouth about Belt Road Holiday park and she said she had stayed there recently with her two children and recommended it. I then went on to the website and liked the look of the motel unit with the view.

We booked a motel unit for two adults and when we arrived we were thrilled with the cleanliness, location and the facilities provided.

We had a beautiful view of the ocean. Paid a little bit more to have a power site. There are plenty of power/non power sites that do not have great views. We were lucky to be there off season - so ask before booking what view you will have.

We stayed during the RWC and found that we weren't at the Holiday Park long enough to really enjoy the facilities, and the view. It was in a good position for the rugby and despite the rain we enjoyed the view in the morning having brekkie in our cmapervan. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Thank you for your review! We hope you enjoy the rest of the Rugby World Cup!

"beautiful ocean view, cozy modern cabin."

This was a fun property our little private cabin was so cute and cozy, and the ocean view was amazing. I would recommend this location for low maintenance people who want to see the beauty new Zealand has to offer. I was disappointed that I asked for a 1 night refund because we couldn't stay I asked a month in advance and we didn't get it. Also I would recommend breakfast at pio pio.

Had another awesome weekend with you all . Cabin was clean and very comfortable and warm. Loved the showers. Spectacula views and easy access to walk way clubs, pools and town. Love the friendly staff who are ready to help at any time with any problem, also give great advice. Kids had a great time there when we all came up one other time and very quickly made friends with other children staying at the camp. We all highly recommend this holiday park to all familys. Great happy place to be. See you all again real soon.

Communication before the stay, at booking time was also very good, and patience displayed when my credit card mucked up. Don't look anywhere else. Amazing views and a lovely beachside walk to town.

"My stay at belt Road Seaside Holiday park"

I have stayed at this holiday park on numerous occasions. My latest stay was a quick stop over while I was visiting friends. The room was clean and tidy and exactly as described on the web site. I already knew my way round so that was a bonus. I had the kitchen and TV to myself so that was great. Had a great nights sleep and really enjoyed my stay. The staff were very friendly. I recommend belt road to any one who is planning a trip to New Plymouth. The web site is very easy to use and it makes booking in so easy. you know exactly what room you are getting before you arrive. I always stay here when I go to NewPlymouth.

This was our third visit and Belt Rd never fails to impress; it's clean, safe, friendly and perfect for a reasonably priced family holiday. The kids love it and we look forward to returning again - thank you for providing a wonderful facility.

An excellent, well run camp. All facilities ( toilet block, shower and kitchen ) require a key which you pay a refundable deposit for. This ensures (so it seems) everyone takes responsibility for keeping the facilities clean and tidy.

The tent site we stayed on was surrounded by hedges which gave great privacy.

We found the staff friendly on arrival and instructions were easy to follow. our unit was cute clean and comfortable. The bathroom was great - hot shower and easy to use. We only stayed overnite but it was perfect for our purpose. We'll come back.

We stayed here in between tramping trips and it was ideal for us. It was a great location right on the coast, with sea views and a chance to relax. The facilities were very good, the staff very helpful and everything was clean and well maintained.. Its off the road so noise was low, though it is a big holiday park so its not for you if you are after something small and intimate.

It was very clean and tidy. The view is to die for and the people running the site are very friendly. The only thing strange to me,was paying for duvets and towels, but that is maybe a New Plymouth thing. We never paid anywhere in New Zealand for things like this when staying in a cabin. Other than that, we would stay there again and enjoyed it very much.

We stayed in the motel units, overlooking the sea. Amazing view. Perfectly relaxing. Walk down to the seafront walkway. Close to the aquatic centre. Within yards of the excellent Bach restaurant at the port. We loved the unit, our own deck with stunning sunsets and views over the ocean. Had considered a hotel in town but this was better.

The self-contained unit we stayed in was great. Clean and ideal for 2 adults and 2 children. The bathroom was reasonably modern, and kitchenette adequate (we didn't do any cooking, as being on holiday why not find any excuse to go out for a meal or 2 ! (Just 2 elements to cook on if you are the keen chef). Parking right next door to the unit, and beautiful view of the sea etc, and covered veranda. Good having secure entry to the camp via swipe card, to help keep any undesirables out !

The place is superb. We have stayed in 3 other top 10 holiday parks across the north island throughout our trip but none comes close to this place in terms of hygine, facilities, environment and worth of money.

Belt Road holiday park was awesome! we had the best stay here. The facilities were great, location was perfect and the staff were extremly helpful and friendly. I would definately return and stay here again next time i come to New Plymouth and have already recommened it to friends and family who have travelled there too. We weren't quite sure of the reason for having a key for the toilet block and laundry which was slightly frustrating if you had forgotten your key by the time you had got to the toilet block so if anything, i would change that or just keep the toiliet block open. BUT everything else was wonderful. Thank you

This camp ground must has one of the best out looks in NZ. Great sea views and within easy walking distance of town and only minutes from the slipway area and some great cafes. Clean,tidy,helpful staff, all good, would stay again.

Hi, this is the second time we have stayed at Belt Road in one of the Cabins. I have always found the staff helpful, quick and efficient on checking in and on checking out.... I liked the cabin we stayed in the first time because we had uninterrupted views but on our second stay we had camper vans in front but still a lovely place and we found the cabins clean, tidy and stocked with all your kitchen necessities etc... Would definately stay again ....

We stayed there for three nights. Two nights in a tent and one in a cabin due to rain. The campsite itself is nicely located but a bit rundown. The toilet blocks and kitchen facilities are quite old and need a bit of maintenance (e.g. stove top elements in kitchen) but were sufficient for our needs for a short term stay. Toilets worked, showers were hot. Only other problem was with a few ants around the campsites and in the kitchen.

The campsites are rather nice and divided by hedges. Not well used, perhaps, so the grass was still green and pleasant. Not a lot of drainage, apparently, as there was quite a bit of flooding around roads and on individual sites with some decent rain.

The staff were very helpful and accommodating - moving us to a cabin on short notice, arranging taxis etc, providing leeway for moving out and limited gear storage if necessary.

We found the facilities at this campsite great. There are more than enough bathroom/cooking/laundry facilities which are kept clean and well stocked. The location of this camp is ideal for those wanting to be within walking distance to town (about 20 minutes), close to the swimming pools, and having the coastal walkway readily accessible. Having a range of cafes located in the Port area, right beside the camp, is also of benefit to the camp itself.

Security is good with access cards for both the gate and keys needed for toilet facilities.

Our site, while having fantastic views, was probably more suited to a motor home than our tent, as we were very exposed in the strong winds.

Good location, great views, but the site isn't really set up for campers travelling lightly - the kitchen doesn't have any utensils, pots, cutlery - no tea towels or dish washing liquid either! People in campervans might be better equipped for this site. A common area for campers to sit in at night would also improve the site.

The campsite is average in terms of facilities, kitchen was awful and bathrooms were marginal. Building are old and concrete and you need a key to get into the toilets - not so good if there is more than one of you of different genders who needs to use them at the same time. On the up side I really liked the way the camp ground was set out - nice hedges between sites in order to keep privacy. Down side there was no pool and you can't really see the mountain from the grounds (even though they say you can...). Nice view of the ocean though! For options in New Plymouth it is ok, but I have been in much nicer places for the same price in other areas.

The cabin was clean and entirely as expected, staff friendly and helpful and the view worth millions:-) all in all we had a great stay and would definitely return to a cabin. The only downside was the communal kitchen was yukky - wasnt't a problem as we bbqed and ate fish & chips but in bad weather or for longer stays this could be an issue.

Belt Road Seaside Holiday Park is very convinient for families whose seek fun and adventure. Its very accesible to city and to cycle coastal way and as a bonus there is a swimming center nearby where kids will really enjoy pools with waves.The campimg ground is set in a flat terrain overlooking the sea which make you feel relax and rested after a long trip around those beatiful places around Taranaki.The facilites are well equipt, it's clean and had a lot of friendly staff as well.

We really had a wonderful stay in New Plymouth and experiencing the Mt. Taranaki Summit Climb is a fantastic experience which is really very fullfilling.

We will definitely be back next year and again book at Belt road seaside park.

Neat and tidy facilities, right by the ocean with great views. Quiet and respectful campers. We liked that we could walk along the coastal walkway to the shops. The only downpoint was the train tracks directly behind our tent

The location is excellent and the general services on offer good, but this was the worst nights sleep I have had in a long time due to the uncomfortable bed. I would recommend staying in one of the cabins that do not have bunk beds for this reason or camping would also be a good option. Very convenient and friendly service.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you had an uncomfortable sleep, we have a wide range of cabin styles available to suit every-ones needs. Next time you come and stay, please do not hesitate to ask to view other options

"Great experience"

I personally stayed here with a tent,but noted that the cabins were all well spaced without crowding, most with wonderful seaviews. The powered sites mostly looked directly over the waters edge. All sites were well mowed, clean, with low hedging in between. Bathrooms and kitchen are older but beautifully clean at all times with microwave, small oven and cooktops a plenty.Laundry facilities worked well. There is planty of room to wander in peace. Location on the waterfront overlooking the harbour is superb, and only a 2km or so walk to CBD. Staying here was lovely, and I would happily come again.

Thank you for your review, and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. When you visit next time, pop in to the office as we have spare kitchen utensils that you are more than welcome to borrow. Thanks again and see you soon.

"great place!"

Belt Rd holiday park is a great place to stay in New Plymouth. Close to town, directly above the beach with a walk way down to the port, where there is swimming, kayak hire, seal colony tours and lovely cafes and a very nice restaurant. The amenities blocks are locked, with each campsite getting a key, which would have been slightly annoying if there was more than 2 of us, but maybe extra keys are available. All up a nice place to put up your tent for a stay in the Naki.

On the flipside, it would've been nice to have had towells in the bathroom (only had a bath mat supplied) and more parking available given it was a cabin that slept 7 people and imagine this could be an issue in the busy time as it was empty when we were there so could park additional cars on a campervan site.
